MOSCOW - VTB Arena (12,500)

[George_D]

Under the new concept of project, the number of seats at the stadium will be reduced to 27 and 268 thousand units.

"We have used the WORLD CUP information received and promptly made adjustments to the project. The following general parameters: number of seats at a football stadium-27268, lodges-64, Club seats-4478, handicap rooms-170; in the arena-11329 (Hockey Hall configuration), 12500 (basketball) and about 14000 in concert, lodge-67, Club seats-1919, places for people with disabilities-80. It figures the new concept, which find optimal architectural planning decision ", said the Chairman of the Board of Directors of" VTB Arena ".

According to, it is the fact that they would not fall Peregudova in list of arenas, who will be World Cup 2018 matches, became the key to change the concept of the building.

At least the arena is over 10,000 so the thread can stay

IMO it shouldn't ne a problem if you also post some pics of the stadium.

27k is really low. Any chance to expand it later?

BTW
Stadium:
cap: 45,000 -> 27,268
suites: 98 -> 64

Arena:
15,000 -> 12,500
suites: 82 -> 67

football stadium-27268 + Club seats-4478 = 31746 ??? why to remove stadium?

[George_D]

I think you should make 2 seperate threads for stadium and arenas

64 suites * x seeats = 64x
Club seats: 4,478
Handicap: 170
TOTAL: 27,268

It should be read: 27268 total seats, including: 64 VIP seats, 4478 club seats and 170 seats for disable people.

Because his capacity will be less than 30.000 seats, what's necessary for separate threads in this section.

In this case, this thread will be closed and whole discussion about football stadium will be removed into general thread RUSSIA - Stadium and Arena Development News.

[www.sercan.de]

Honestly IMO thes thread should stay and it will be the thread for the Arena.

[jackass94]

Right but I guess you need to mention than there also will be a football staduim

smth like this:
MOSCOW - VTB Arena (12,500 + 27268)

[www.sercan.de]

added the information at post #1

[Donodöner]

Maybe rename it in VTB complex or something?

[ultEmate]

I think we should keep this thread for both football stadium and indoor arena. And it should be mentioned in the thread name. After all it will be one building, and it will be much more convenient to update single thread, when the construction works actually start.

[George_D]

I think that this thread should be deleted and make a new "VTB Indoor Arena (12,500)" only

No, this "sport complex" is going to be the first arena+stadium within the same shell : do you know another stadium + arena under the same roof? and above a shopping mall on the top of that?!!!

That design reminds me of the landspeeder from star wars!

[Jim856796]

Well, look at that, the alignment of the (reduced-capacity) football-only stadium was actually corrected, to actually be level with the sides of the old facade. Good.

And what about the space that will be under the new indoor arena and football stadium and behind the reconstructed historic facade, what will that be used for, besides the parking in the underground?

[plasticterminator]

Its official Dynamo Moscow are building a giant landspeeder in the centre of Moscow after their Millennium Falcon design was rejected.

[FredPerry]

Very good design
